Okay, originally I was going to write this off as mere blogspam but I wanted to have some fun.
Issues:
1. An ordinal scale with subjective verbiage?
2. An ordinal scale with no natural middle (there are six options!)?
3. An ordinal scale with 'select all that apply'?! How does that even work?
4. The percentages add to more than 100%! That's not how percentages work. At least normalize the scale -- or change the Y axis.
There's nothing wrong with trying to promote your analysis firm (I like RedMonk!) but at least try and, you know, have good analysis.

- dsberkholz 14y agoMaybe you do didn't notice, but it wasn't our survey, and we had nothing to do with its design. I agree that the design is not great, but c'mon, this is just for fun. When you can select multiple answers, the percentages no longer total 100 across options, only within each option vs all respondents.
